6.5.3 Axis Type Selection
There are two types of position control: Finite length position control for return and other operations
that are performed only within a specified range, and infinite length position control, which is used
for moving in one direction only. Infinite length position control can reset the position to 0 after one
rotation, e.g, belt conveyors, or move in one direction only, without resetting position after one rota-
tion. The axis type selection sets which of these types of position control is to be used.
The details of the Axis Type Selection are listed in the following table.

Function Selection
1, Axis Type
Specify the position control method for the controlled
axis.
0: Finite Length Axis
Set a finite length axis if control is performed within
a limited length or for an axis that uses infinite length
control in one moving direction only without
resetting the position every rotation.
1: Infinite Length Axis
Set an infinite length axis for an axis that uses
infinite length control while resetting the position
every rotation.

No. 10
Maximum Value of
Rotary Counter
(POSMAX)
Set the reset position of the position data when an
infinite length axis has been set for the axis type using
the reference unit.
